The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist

Looks like Wattpad is having a NSFW purge. People are talking about it on r/wattpad and r/fanfiction. Anyone here use wattpad and notice? I wonder what the scale and criteria they are using is.

Oh boy. AO3, brace yourself!

I'm getting so tired of callouts like "(X person) got caught with zoo porn!" And then you're thinking, wtf, that's awful. And then it turns out being about TWO FUCKING CARTOON ANIMALS. I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK. YOU CANNOT PAY ME TO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT SOMEONE DRAWING CARTOONS FUCKING. Like god fucking dammit, get some real problems.

Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.

A new store has been opened! The proceeds of which fund my new OFFICIALLY hired colorist @barbelzoa, please check it out!

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others' guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

Great Mouse Detective version of Dracula happening simultaneously as the events of Dracula, so there’s just five mice in Victorian clothes unnoticed by the human cast desperately trying to kill a bat.

If "AI is creating content without respecting creators rights" is the same as "The rich wanting to prevent from knowledge from reaching the common masses" then the reading comprehension of this website no longer pisses on the poor, it's now shitting on the poor.

If you're going to come onto one of my posts to go off about 'people who are against AI are just like the people who were against the printing press and photography', please point me in the direction of your high school teachers because they obviously did not teach you the fallacy of arguing Apples to Oranges.

The upper-classes were against printing presses because they were trying to gatekeep knowledge, particularly Theological knowledge, against the working class. That's also the reason why most Christian texts were written in Latin.

That is completely different from things like ChatGPT scraping TeachersPayTeachers to create 'lesson plans' or stealing from fanfiction and indie-published writing to churn out AI-written 'novels'.

Those who were originally against photography thought it was trying replace painters due to them not understanding that plenty of schooling and training goes into mastering lighting, angle, tone, aperture, temperature, lenses, modeling, subject-study, composition, editing, and more. That is not the same as being upset at the people behind Midjourney et al admitting that their algorithms (because, let's face it, for as much as the public has latched onto calling these programs 'Artificial Intelligence', they're closer to 'Algorithmic Intuition') use 'publicly available images'.

I.e.: Anything that's been posted online, creators' rights be damned.

Don't try to sing me a song of sixpence. You do not have enough rye in your pockets to do so.

happy 4/20 kids
